LEAF SPRING REPLACEMENT 

Are My Leaf Springs Bad? Exposure to road salt and harsh elements, carrying heavy loads, and driving on rough roads can all cause corrosion or damage that weakens a spring’s structure. Strange noises like Cracking, Clunking, Knocking, Rattling, Popping, Squeaking, generally indicate wear or corrosion and are are common symptoms of bad leaf springs.

HOW LONG DO LEAF SPRINGS LAST?

Most leaf springs will last for several years, but factors such as cargo load and exposure to the elements can cause extra strain or corrosion that may increase the frequency at which they need to be replaced.

SYMPTOMS OF BAD LEAF SPRING BUSHINGS

Leaf spring bushings work in conjunction with leaf springs and other suspension system components to provide the support that gives your truck a smooth ride and proper handling. Like leaf springs, they help absorb shock and pressure caused by flexing leaf and coil springs, and will need to be replaced once they wear out. The symptoms of bad leaf spring bushings also include feeling every bump on the road, your truck pulling to one side or diving or leaning with momentum. If you notice any of these symptoms you should have your leaf spring bushings immediately inspected by a leaf spring repair shop.

Because some of these signs might be quite subtle at first, it’s always a good idea to have your leaf springs, leaf spring bushings, and other suspension components inspected on a regular basis, especially if you drive a semi or other truck that frequently hauls heavy loads.

IS IT SAFE TO DRIVE ON A BROKEN LEAF SPRING?

A broken leaf spring or leaf spring separation can both occur because of fatigue from general wear or overloading. If one of your leaf springs breaks or becomes separated, it’s important to get your truck or trailer into a repair shop as soon as possible. If the broken leaf spring is not positioned on the rear axle, it may be safe to drive for a short distance, such as to your home or a nearby leaf spring repair shop.

Make sure you drive slowly and do not quickly swerve or make sharp turns, as your vehicle steering won’t handle as it normally would, and your tires could lose their grip on the road. Driving with a broken leaf spring shackle or on damaged or fatigued leaf springs not only causes damage to your other suspension components but can be dangerous for you and other drivers.

LOOSE U-BOLTS

The U-bolts that attach leaf springs to the axle housing can become loose over time or issues can occur when the U-bolts are not tightened enough during installation.  You can help prevent problems by checking your U-bolts every 500 or so miles to make sure they haven’t loosened.

STEERING REPAIR

Why is my steering shaking or pulling on my semi truck?  Their are front-end components that could be causing these issues. Steering shaking might result from unbalanced tires, worn shocks, or damaged tie rod ends. Pulling to one side can occur due to misaligned wheels, uneven tire wear, or faulty steering components like the drag link or excessive kingpin play.
